NASPA New Otani

The view from my room was breathtaking, room very spacious and elegant, even though a bit old interior.

The room was large and the view terrific. We enjoyed the very clean and well established onsen right in our own tower building. We used it daily often twice. The location in the mountains accessible to the town was a great joy. The ski hill was fun and has sufficient challenge for both intermediate and expert skiers. We enjoyed the shuttle and used it a few times. we also liked that there was a gift shop in the building. But the biggest surprise was the complimentary lift tickets. We enjoyed the convenience of the rental shop with friendly employees and having tickets with the room was appreciated.

We stayed at the NASPA New Otani Hotel to go to the nearby Kagura Tashiro Ski Resort for our last skiing trip of the season and we were extremely pleased with the hotel. The room was spacious and spotless clean. The beds, pillows and comforters were super comfortable, the shower was amazing (rare in Japan, since they don't really have a shower, just the hand held piece, but never a real, over head shower) and the Wifi worked without any issues (I had to take work/business video meetings in one of the evenings we were there, so I took my Macbook with me and my meetings worked perfectly. The breakfast was excellent too. We look forward to visiting during next season when the NASPA ski resort is open. The highlight of our stay was Pingu, the hotel's character/mascot! So, so cute!! He can be seen everywhere in the hotel and I was so happy to purchase a Pingu megurumi (stuffed animal) in the hotel's souvenir shop! Really, really recommend the hotel for all skiing trips in the area!!

Great location for ski in ski out. Room were very nice size for a family. The view of the mountains from our room was beautiful to wake up to all the snow on Xmas day.

Convenient shuttle bus to take only five minutes to NASPA New Otani from train station. The room was very clean and comfortable. Onsen was great. Both buffets, dinner, and breakfast were delicious. We enjoyed our stay and will visit this very nice and friendly hotel again if we are in the area.
